Bluetooth Board Connection

Post by jcooper »

I've got a Bluetooth board, and was hoping to connect it to the UWTerminal application supplied by EZURiO. Is there a SOP in place for connecting the Bluetooth board directly to a computer's serial port? From your schematics, it looks like the current level shifter may not be adequate for a direct connection.

Hello

Im afraid that the Bluetooth board does not currently support this. However if you wanted you could rig up the RS232 board to forward the signals to and from the bluetooth board. Not sure if the 4 signals (TX, RX, CTS, RTS) would be enough for the UWTerminal software though.

What is the part number for the EZURiO module that you are using on the Bluetooth Board? Do you have schematics for it?

Hello

Here is the Bluetooth module.

BLU2i V2 Bluetooth module BLU2i Bluetooth Module Spectre

And here is the Hirose connector

Bluetooth connector (DF12) DF12-3.5-40DP-0.5V-80 2001 ICE

Do you mean a schematic for the bluetooth board or the bluetooth module? If you need the bluetooth board schematic then it can be found in the E-Block datasheets area of our website.

I need information on the Bluetooth module itself - I already have the board's schematics. Since I'm doing my development in C rather than using Flowcode, I need a more intimate knowledge of how each piece works. Can you tell me if this is the correct datasheet for the Bluetooth Module?

Yes - that is the correct module.

The "AT command reference" manual will also be useful to you. You should be able to find this on the Ezurio site.

Steve,

I assume that this Bluetooth board supports the SPP - Serial Port Protocol?
Meaning that it can be used to build up a link to a PC Bluetooth virtual serial port?

From the manual, the following Bluetooth profiles are supported:
FTP Server, SPP, DUN, FTP, Audio Gateway, Headset, Handsfree
Our Bluetooth course does include some examples where the module is connected to a PC via a virtual COM port. This course should be downloadable from our website somewhere.
